Bret Battaglia’s Picks for Turfway Park for Saturday, January 30th

Race 1

CAUSE I’M ALEX just missed last time out and is the choice for the win here despite the move back up in class. KORUS WARRIOR drops back down to the same level he broke his maiden at over the summer at Ellis and could be dangerous here if he’s ready. SUCCESSFUL PLAN ran a decent race over the track last time out and figures to move forward off of that one.

Race 2

ROYAL SPACES has been beaten as the favorite in her last two starts, but hooks a slightly softer field tonight and should be able to pick up the maiden win here. STEF’S GIRL might have needed her last after having been off since September. She drops in class and looks capable of running well here. GRACE BE GREAT has finished right behind the top pick in her last two starts and is a contender.

Race 3

GHOSTLY WONDER has been in good form since coming to Turfway, winning two of his last three starts. He figures to be on or near the lead again tonight, give him the edge against a well-matched field. ETERNAL RULER looked sharp wining last time out on the move back down in class. A repeat of that effort makes him the one to beat again tonight. TIMELY PURSUIT was second best behind an impressive winner last time out. He won two in a row sprinting at this level before that one and shouldn’t mind the extra distance tonight.

Race 4

GRACE’S DEVIL shows three solid efforts against similar in his last three starts and is the choice for the win here. THE DUCK OF REED didn’t fire as the favorite last time out, but is capable of better. GOLDEN CAUSEWAY has a chance.

Race 5

BAJA BESSIE comes in off a nice win against similar and looks like she’s in a good spot to win...

‘GOOD TRIP’ CRUCIAL FOR BOOZER IN TURF CLASSIC

Boozer makes his second attempt to win the $250,000 California Cup Turf Classic presented by City National Bank Saturday when the son of Unusual Heat trained by Mark Glatt for Al and Saundra Kirkwood runs in the mile-and-an-eighth race for four-year-olds and up.

The six-year-old gelding is usually on the pace or close to it. Last year, he missed winning the Classic by a neck after leading most of the way under Gary Stevens, who is back aboard Saturday.

“It looks like there’s speed in the race and hopefully he’ll relax behind it,” Glatt said. “If he gets a good trip, he’ll be close and we’ll see if we can hang on this year.”

The Turf Classic, one of five stakes races worth a total of $1 million for California-bred or sired horses on Sunshine Millions Day: Tamarando, Edwin Maldonado, 20-1; G.G. Ryder,...
